  While we are aware of the problem, there is little we can do about it.  The modern realities of security of the web browsers have made sandbox, a necessity.

  There is a good explanation of what is happening here: http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2012/06/inside-flash-player-protected-mode-for-firefox.html

  Long story short, every video packet must be transmitted from the browser to a medium integrity process broker, then the integrity process low drive flash for rendering.  If an attacker is able to hijack the thread of Flash Player, the process is low integrity, which prevents the attacker to do a lot with it.  While it is not an absolute guarantee (nothing security is), it raises the bar significantly for the attackers.

  The downside is that all this additional message passing consumes cycles CPU, especially if you are trying to fill a buffer of exceptional size as soon as possible.  There's not a lot of opportunity to optimize this.

  If you're fine with the risk, you can manually disable ProtectedMode on your machine.  If you deal only with trusted sites, and you do not have anything critical with the machine (work, banking, etc.), then it is probably not a huge deal.

  Finally, ProtectedMode is like a vaccine - it's one thing to immunity.  If the majority of people run it, exploits targeting machines without that it does not conform and probably not merit to be pursued when you look at the effort involved in the development of a feat of end-to-end.  If a large number of people turn it off, it becomes economically attractive for builders of networks of zombie computers, and you will have problems if you do not use.

  To disable the Protected Mode, add the following line to your mms.cfg file located in:

  32-bit Windows: C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash

  64-bit Windows: C:\windows\syswow64\macromed\flash

  ProtectedMode=0 
  

  If the mms.cfg file does not exist, create one to any text editor standard (p. ex. Notepad)

  Depending on your operating system, you must first save the mms.cfg file in a directory writable (for example, your document or desktop folder), and then copy the file into the folder using Windows Explorer.

  To re - enable Protected Mode, simply delete the line in the mms.cfg file.

• MacBook Pro random high utilization of the processor (iCoreService/DCAManager using + 400% CPU?)

  Hello

  I'm running an Early 2011 Macbook Pro running OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 with a 2.2 GHZ Quad Core i7 processor 1 TB Samsung 840 EVO SSD and 16 GB of RAM Crucial. I noticed for about a month, I'm going to do a simple task or two on my Mac, then all of a sudden I noticed spikes CPU temporary, 90 + degrees C and the kick of fans trying to cool high speed. Well, I don't know why this is happening when I do nothing to justify a high utilization of the processor. I'm used to the CPU running hot when I do something intensive graphic as running Autodesk Inventor CAD software, run a machine virtual or even watch a 1080 p @ 60 fps video on youtube (it is the lowest resolution that requires the Mac switch to the dedicated AMD Radeon 6750 M GPU that usually eventually warm it quickly) , but this use high random that happens when I have Mail open in the background, and one tab open with a 720 p @ 30 fps video Youtube open (or even less). I took a few screenshots of the activity Manager indicating the best processes and Intel Power Gadget indicating the temperature of the CPU:

  

  

  

  Does anyone know what are iCoreService and/or DCAManager and why they use so much of my CPU when this happens? And someone has encountered this weird behavior before? Thanks in advance!

  The most likely cause is an applicztion you have running that is corrupt and forcing them to use the CPU too. Were you able to kill the process in activity monitor? If you have not yet tried to do, so I'll try that first. I would also try to quit all open applications.

  If you start the computer in Safe Mode , you can test if the problem is still there. If it isn't, usually means something that is managed by you start-up or an application that you use may be the cause.

• Leaks memory satellite L655 - 14 d, high utilization of the processor after Win 10 updated

  Hello world

  recently, I updated my Toshiba L655 - 14 d running on win7 Home premium 64-bit to win 10.

  After that update system is memory leaks, high utilization of the processor and get stuck every 5 to 10 seconds, is a rhythmic problem happens while Starter upward.

  If music is played nothing breaks and distortion, while using word or another office associated SW it became marked delay in the characters that appear on the screen, using the internet or live streaming is also not smooth.

  Any suggestions to solve these problems?

  It is advisable to change the RAM and upgrade to the new HARD drive (current RAM is 3GB 1066 MHz and is disc HARD 500 GB, ATI Radeon graphics card), if the change has advised if I want on the RAM even or I can go for a more of the same for the HARD drive also.

  Thanks in advance.

  You may need to check if the problem could be related to some drivers installed (maybe GPU driver would need an update) or 3rd party software.
  Background running processes in the context of the system could block the CPU, and this could slow down the performance of the system...
  So a quick glance in the task manager can be useful.

  Of course, upgrade of RAM can be useful too... If you run Win 64 bit system, upgrade of RAM is recommended.
  The 32-bit OS can handle only 3.2 GB RAM... so in this case the RAM upgrade would be useless.

  With regard to upgrading the HARD drive:
  The SATA controller is able to manage any size of HARD drive, but to be honest, this will not increase the performance of the laptop... But change from HDD to SSD drive would increase the performance of the system... so I recommend you replace the HARD drive with SSD drive.

• In obtaining Windows XP SP3 notice of high utilization of the processor, but do not know the cause

  I keep having problems with high CPU usage, but I don't know what is the cause. I know Norton has sent me a few messages on dumprep.exe high utilization of the processor, but this isn't the only time where she do this and it is causing my computer runs slowly, and a few times the last 2 days that makes my strongest computer. I hope someone can help because I don't know anything about all this

  Hi SandieLaster,

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. When was the last time it was working fine?
  3. When the high CPU usage occurs?

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

• high utilization of the processor in standby mode / x 230

  Hi all

  I have an i5 x 230, win8 installed pro on an ssd crucial msata m4, 16 GB of ram. Recently, I noticed a sharp decline in the life of the battery. I believe that this is due to the high utilization of the processor when idle, I see it in the Manager of tasks and shows the process system hovering over 30% cpu usage. It goes down when I restart, but just on the rise after some time, perhaps on his return from his sleep.

  Does anyone have any idea on this? I tried to get a little knowledge base, but nothing came.

• High utilization of the processor and Windows without end research update

  I worked with computers for my whole life.  I'm 7 courses away from completing my bachelor's degree in ITM to include coming soon obtaining of Certifications.  This problem, on one of the computers in my own office, cause me endless frustrations as well as the fact that me, unable to find and implement a solution helps me feel completely incompetent.  Me reaching out to everyone here is a terrible blow for I feel on my own knowledge base because it seems as if the fix can be easy, and I feel as if I am missing something obvious.  That being said here is the issue I am running in:

  On my Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit, I have no intention of upgrading for various reasons, I notice that my CPU usage and the physical memory usage vary from 60% to almost 100% when I run no applications, which is a more recent symptom and severely hampers my system.  After having reduced the problem of the use to only one of the "svchost.exe" process and the "wuauserv" Service within this process labeled as Windows Update, I confirmed that it was this Service initially at least the question of the use of the CPU by arresting him, I went ahead and ran a manual update of Windows only to find out he's looking for new updates constantly.  The ever green status bar stops moving, or it never gets past that point.  First of all, I advanced and erased the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder, after you stop the Services, than to have the same problem.  I have never received any type of error on the part of Windows Update code he has yet to reach a point of not not looking for updates.  I also have the chance to try to remove some updates recently installed in an effort to clear all possible corrupt files so that they can be reinstalled to no effect.  The same problem persists.  I am confident, it is a problem of Windows Update and also confident, it's a registry problem, but I struggle to trust one of the edition of solutions that I met in my quest for answers to the registry.  Also, I noticed that after having messed around with patches previously indicated, that my Documents Word from Microsoft do not open when I double-click on it, however, I am still able to open Word and open an existing document to the program itself.  This is a very new symptom, and I'm not sure if it's related.  It is my hope that a new installation of Windows won't be necessary.

  Please let me know diagnostic programs I might need to run to narrow down the issue.  Thanks in advance for all the help I can get on this.

  Hi Llysanth:

  If your initial "check for updates..." Windows Update crashes during long periods without raising an error, this is a widespread problem currently affecting many SP2 of Vista and Win 7 SP1 users.  On my Vista 32 bit system, I see a constant consumption of ~ 50% of my CPU by Windows Update (wuauserv) service which runs under the svchost.exe process (i.e., the saturation full of one of my two hearts) during thecheck for updates...'and Sysinternals Process Explorer shows that the Windows Update Agent (c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll) consumes all CPU - to see my images in Kayla77 thread processes in the Manager during updates tasks to day in the VistaForums.

  Some users find 'verification of the updates... ' will be held eventually in the end if you let it run for several hours, but there is also a workaround solution posted on the page Web of Dalai to http://wu.krelay.de/en/ that accelerates the Windows Update for the affected users. Of workaround requires users to install the updated Windows kernel mode driver (Win32K.sys) listed on this webpage so one is missing from your system before running Windows Update.  I used Dalai for the latest Patch workaround three Tuesdays (the second Tuesday of each month) and has reduced my search for 'check for updates...' updates available for 6 or 7 hours up to approx. 25 min.

  The step by step instructions Posted June 16, 2016 wire m #l's updates works do not, he has been looking for updates to the hours are based on workaround of Dalai and will guide you through the installation process of packages update stand-alone (.msu files) for your updates Win32K.sys missing.

  As of today page is Web (August 31, 2016) the current list of updates Win32K.sys on Dalai: KB3078601 (rel. 18 August 2015); KB3109094 (rel. 7 December 2015); KB3145739 (rel. 12 April 2016); KB3164033 (rel. June 14, 2016); KB3168965 (rel. July 12, 2016); KB3177725 (rel. 9 August 2016). Just install updates are missing from your system, so if you have been fully patched at the end of July 2016 you need to manually install the latest KB3177725 (MS16-098: a security update for the Windows Kernel-Mode drivers: 9 August 2016) before you run Windows Update to install your remaining August 2016 Patch Tuesday updates.

  Dalai has posted General information that explains why the Windows Update Agent is currently suspended during the "checking for updates..." Windows Update.

  EDIT:

  My apologies to Volume Z.  I don't see your post on KB3177725 until I submitted my response.

• I can't find the fix_svchost.bat file update. The svchost.exe process is spiking the CPU at 100% after the computer crashes.

  Original title: I can't find the fix_svchost.bat file update.

  I'm in you process of having my computer running faster. The svchost.exe process takes 100% of cpu memory and computer dthe freezes. A friend of mine told me a method to solve the problem, but I can't find the fix_svchost.bat update. I went to microsoft update center and don't find any results at all, and I don't know another place to look for. I think that the update does not even exist.

  I could send you a fix_svchost.bat file, but I don't think it's the starting point.

  What you need to do is run a few respectable scans for malware first, and then see if any of you are your svchost.exe process is still badly behave.

  Behind each of the svchost.exe process that see you in the Manager of tasks can be one or more process of XP you have to be running, but malware is KNOWN to imitate or hide behind a svchost.exe process, so you won't be able to see in Manager tasks.  You have to outsmart it.

  First yo should make a reasonable effort to eliminate malware, and then start troubleshooting - not the other way around.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  No matter what you use for malware protection, follow these steps:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  These comprehensive analyses can take some time, but you really need to run.  SAS will probably be just a bunch of Internet tracking cookies, but you can remove them.  Once you have done at least a full analysis, you can do quick scans in the future to save time and save the analyses complete for when you have more time or are really suspicious of an infection of the system.

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  In 1985, there were 11 known computer viruses.  Today, there are over 70,000 and new threats are detected every day.  Always update your virus definitions before running a scan.

  For some time, the * TASKHOST. EXE *, "host process for Win tasks" (pl.: "trial dla zada hosta?) systemu Windows") * runs all the time, consumes about 30% of the CPU. It works even without any program began.

  Results:
  (1) * autonomy is much shorter *, about 5 hours from 10 hours earlier.
  (2) * the cooler fan is on a higher speed all the time * (previously - only occasionally switch on).
  (3) * around CPU is hot all the time * (see: cooler fan)-previously it used to heat only during "heavy" tasks (e.g. image processing).

  After a few tips, I turned off CARS in the Task Scheduler - no changes whatsoever.

  I would be grateful for guidance on how to make "taskhost.exe" more energy efficient.
  Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

  THE TASKHOST. EXE is a Microsoft Windows systems internal generic host process and has nothing to do with the laptop or computer manufacturer.

  I uninstalled the HP from the disk and was able to install the printer using the HP Web site.
  Since my computer is very slow to start. While they inspected the Task Manager, I noticed that Explorer.exe uses sometimes up to 100% of the CPU. How can I fix it?

Reports of studies from the point when the computer is started, and then check if a similar report appeared in the previous session. If errors do not repeat investigation as to why they happen is wasted effort.

  7. in the individual reports the most important information is the event ID and Source such as these help when looking for help on the internet.

• How can I set a wallpaper if the explorer.exe shell is intentionally never started

  The scenario:

  I want to run Windows 7 in Kiosk mode using only the touch input keyboard and mouse.

  To do this, I replace "explorer.exe" in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell with the path to my application. It does everything that I need because there is no keyboard and mouse attached.

  I also put a wallpaper that tells the user to contact our support.

  So if my application can not start or fails for any reason, the user cannot manipulate the system, but he receives a useful message.

  On Windows XP, everything works fine - my application starts full screen so paper mask painted. If it crashes, then the background reappears.

  On Windows 7, however, no background appears. The screen remains black even if a valid path is set in the registry. It seems that on Windows 7, explorer.exe is responsible for setting the wallpaper. Since he's never started, no wallpaper is displayed.

  How can I manually set a wallpaper if explorer.exe is never started?
